[Retdon1]

Confirmed that Hull now make official approach

[wing commander]

   What can you do?? If he decides to go and speak to them their isn't much you can do..The club cant be faulted on this one,I would be gutted if he decided to go but that's football,it happens..

[Alan Southstand]

I thought the Club were going to knock it back?

To use McCans words, people that don’t want to be here can go

[Retdon1]

Idd be disappointed if he left with everything he’s said this summer about loyalty and wanting to play for the club.... could understand if it was a club like Preston or Brentford but not Hull. There going to be in big trouble next season. Will lose their best 2 players and have little if any money to spend.

[donnyspadge]

Like McCann says about the players if he doesn't want to be here then thanks for the last 12 months and move on.

I do want him to stay though fingers crossed 

[mushRTID]

Give him an improved contract and all the Marquis money to spend. Do anything we can. Please!

[Michael Shaw]

Dickov and Ferguson were welcome to leave, but McCann is a very different story. We don't want to start interviews for another manager now when McCann is starting to build his own team. Chances are, a year from now, Grant will be more appreciated for what he has achieved at Doncaster than at Hull. But if he goes that is all there is to it. Depends how accurate Football Insider is. 

[Bezza]

Would he make a couple of signings and then walk out on them ? I would be surprised if he did.

[Dare to dream!]

Offer him a long contract, he’s the best manager we’ve had in years.

[Filo]

The silence from McCan all week has been deafening

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Right that they give him the option and he may well talk to them, he may not get another chance at that level.

[Boomstick]

Right, can we now panic please!!!

[Herbert Anchovy]

Why on Earth he’d leave us for Hull I’ve no idea. Even their fans on social media are telling him not to waste his time!!

[dijit8]

If he is mates with Adkins he would surely know the reasons why he left, so hopefully it may put him off going there.

Not a great time to be having to look for a new manager if he goes (especially with how long it takes us to appoint one)

[redarmy82]

So much for us tell them to do one.

[Alan Southstand]

Players in for testing next week and a trip to La Manga the following week. Who'll be sorting that out if he does go?

I can't see it, myself, as it makes him look a bit daft, after all he's said recently.

Of course, if McCann doesn't fancy it, he only has to say something, surely?

[Herbert Anchovy]

So much for us tell them to do one.

I’m guessing that we could rebuke their first approach but if they’re persistent or the manager has said he’d like to talk to them then what can you do?

[Herbert Anchovy]

Press Talk Only

Hull Daily Mail confirm an approach has been made and they’re “confident they’ll get their man” in the next 48 hours.

[silent majority]

I thought the Club were going to knock it back?

They can't. LMA rules.

[Alan Southstand]

From DFP:

The Rovers hierarchy will speak with McCann before deciding how to proceed.

Rovers will be extremely reluctant to accept the approach as they intend on plotting a bright future with McCann in charge of the side.

But the wishes of the manager himself will have a major bearing on how the next few days play out.

In the meantime, Rovers are poised to announce their third signing of the summer with a midfielder set to join on Thursday.

McCann has been heavily involved with the finalising of any deals this week despite the speculation over his future.

So clubs have no choice now but to just let their managers leave if they want to

[Filo]

My gut feeling is he’s going and things have been moving unofficially in the past few days, hence the lack of comment from McCann, and us unavailibility for the press call on Tuesday

[RoversAlias]

Eh? The club can't refuse an approach for their manager? I've never, ever heard of that being the case and clubs refuse clubs coming in for their managers. That's what contracts are for, surely.

[Dutch Uncle]

Presumably what clubs can do is put a prohibitively high compensation price on the manager's head, rather like with players?

Go on then £10M and they can have him 😀😀

Aye. Same as with Andrew. It was days before we heard anything but things had been happening in the background.

[sheffield exile1]

If he definitely is interested in Hull then I don't see forcing him to stay at Rovers is sensible. However my mate who is a lifelong city supporter says he doubts they are willing to pay substantial compensation which I hope we would be seeking and he has them as down for the drop next season and he is one of the loyal ones!..anyway SOD had interest/interviews and decided to stay. I doubt that the Alam's would do a good selling job to him and all the parachute money has now ended....we live in hope...
